CRITIC REVIEWS
Jane Anson
Inky depths to the plum colour; as is often the case with Pape Clement even under the new regime of the past few vintages where new oak has been lowered. Delivers an exuberant, confident estate signature, supple texture, roasted black cherry and cherry pit, cocoa bean, espresso, a cushion of air helps give a lift on the finish to what is a fairly highly charged architecture. 35hl/ha yield.

Round and perfumed on the nose. Palate aromatic again with floral, red-fruit notes. Fresh and reasonably full on the palate but less punchy than in the past. Some persistence and potential. (JL)
